Winchester is a historic gem, full of natural beauty and small town charm.

Dining

Winchester may be small, but it is packed with an impressive array of highly-rated restaurants. For a taste of contemporary American cuisine, try the Village Square Restaurant, or step over to Union Jack's for authentic British fare. From fine Italian cuisine at Violino Ristorante to mouthwatering Jamaican dishes at Lloyd's to savory French food at La Nicoise Cafe, dining in Winchester will not disappoint.

Shopping

In the historic center of town is Loudoun Street Pedestrian Mall, an outdoor shopping and dining area with brick-paved pathways and old, towering trees. Along and around Loudoun Street, you'll find specialty and antique shops, clothing boutiques, art galleries, furniture stores, and more. From mom and pop shops to national chain stores, Winchester offers convenient access to it all.

Education

Winchester is home to Shenandoah University, a comprehensive private liberal arts university with over 4,000 students. Students can pursue degrees in over 90 areas of study, including nursing, business, pharmacy, and physician assistant studies.
